Help Please---- Card Makin' Bozo Here!

Wonderful experts of all things cards................. I am having a rough time with this, and it sounds as if it should be sooooooooooo simple!

I have opened all of the card templates........... when I slide over paper and use control alt g nothing happens. I make sure that the layer (the template) is highlighted.......... still nothing. I have even merged the visibles at that point and still nothing. What happens is that I just get one layer, the big paper OVER the little template and they move as one.

In other words, this whole experience is frustrating me tremendously!!!!!!

I don't use CS2, just PSE 5.0 so I'm not sure I can help, but, in PSE all I click is ctrl + G (no alt) with the top layer highlighted, not the bottom. Maybe it's the same?

If not I'm sure a CS2 genius will come along soon to your rescue!

Thanks for the reply------ I have tried both the ctrl + G plus the alt ctrl g........... neither do ANYTHING. Then again, I try the merge and the only thing that happens is there is now the big piece eating up the template (no longer seen) and they move together.

Janine, I actually DID go to CS2 help menu------ the command WAS control alt g========= and I suppose I was just an igno old cow or something because when I selected the layer, had the paper over and actually used the COMMAND from the Layers Tab, that baby clipped like a happy little pootywoo!!!!

Just imagine the cow wearing fuzzy slippers!

THANKS ALL!!!!!

Not to worry - I can't get the keyboard shortcut to work for me either. Don't know why. I usually right click on the paper layer and select "Create Clipping Mask" from the flyout menu. Thank goodness there is always more than one way to get things done - eh?
